A Beach Break

The place was great! The actual owner of the place was terrific. He asked us to come a day later because of the roads and we did and he gave us an extra day. Beautiful home! Loved the screened in balconies! Did not have to worry about the dog flies. I would absolutely stay here again!

I can’t wait to go back! It’s the perfect location, perfect pool, and so much beach equipment you don’t need to haul your own!!!

The rental was well maintained and had everything we needed.

Perfect for our first stay in the area.

For perhaps the eighth or ninth year we had a wonderful stay at one of the properties managed by Coastal Joe on Cape Town Blas. It’s a fabulous place to spend a couple of months away from the northern winter. We we especially like the proximity to the park and the bike trail.

We stayed at a Beach Break for nine days and enjoyed every second of our vacation. The condo is lovely, the bed was extremely comfortable, kitchen is fully stocked and beach chairs, umbrellas are available to use. Only minutes from the lovely, lovely beach. Great bike trail within a mile. Management company and the owner of the condo were very easy to work with and available if there were any problems. Loved our stay.

Loved every minute we were there. Wonderful condo , great location! Would definitely go back.

Our family had a great time at The Beach Break. I have stayed at multiple places at the Cape, and one of the qualities that stood out was the convenience. It was super easy to get to the beach (no stairs to the beach!). The beach was very busy when we went, but the convenience of having neighboring restaurants the park, and amenities nearby made it worth it. We felt well taken care of. Thank you for an amazing vacation! We'll be back.

My daughter and I came to CSB for a short vacation (too short). Everything about the stay was perfect in every way. A Beach Break has everything we needed... cards, games, puzzles... kitchen well stocked and organized... comfy beds... a short walk to beach... screened in porch...will be back! Thanks to the owners and Coastal Joe Rentals

Location was perfect. Many extras including beach chairs, kitchen items, beach toys..Coastal Joe and the owner were very responsive and helpful.

We’ve been coming to the same place for several years and absolutely love it—the condo complex, pristine beach, bike trail and state park. Our dog loves it as well.

We have stayed at A Beach Break many times over the past 10 years and always enjoy our stay. The kitchen is well stocked. There are lots of games and puzzles to entertain my kids. The tvs have been recently upgraded to allow streaming and I was excited to see an upgraded, quiet dishwasher. My kids enjoyed the pool and it is easy access to the beach from the condo. The condo has lots of beach chairs and umbrellas, which is an added perk. A Beach Break is really just as it sounds, a great place for our family to escape and hang out together.

5: VERY SATISFIED

Our family spent the week in Cape San Blas for the first time ever. The water and beach are beautiful though a little crowded from what we expected. The unit was very well supplied with everything we could ask for. The owner gave us a courtesy call to make sure everything was good which I thought was exceptional. The location was nice being very near the pool and a very short walk to the beach. Coastal Joe made the check in and out as easy as it could have been. Will definitely return.

Great family trip to Caoe San Blas. Weather was awesome and it was not crowded so we were able to enjoy the restaurants on the island and in Port St Joe. Beachbreak townhouse was in a great location. 3 floors with lots of steps but we needed the exercise. it was nice to have beach chairs and umbrellas. The place was clean and we had no issues while we were there. The place is close to the pool and not too far to the beach. The grounds were clean . The owner and rental company were helpful with a last minute reservation.

My wife and I had another great stay at A Beach Break in 2022! As always, the condo was clean and in great shape, making it a pleasant experience from the start. We’ve returned year after year to enjoy the beautiful beach (just a short walk away), bike trail and St. Joseph’s State Park, which is practically at the back door. We absolutely love the location, a short drive to Port St. Joe, Apalachicola and Mexico Beach, and each year we discover new places to explore. Another benefit of staying in this surprisingly small condo complex is that it has a meticulously kept swimming pool and grounds! The rental management staff of Coastal Joe is both professional and pleasant, easy to work with, and quick to respond to any problems that may come up.

We needed a nice place to stay on a short notice and wanted to be on the Cape close to our new property under development. This Condo was available and very well suited our needs. The price was reasonable and the location fantastic as was the condo amenities.

Our third stay here so obviously it meets our expectations. Great proximity to the beach. Pool is almost right behind the unit. Always clean. Very well stocked kitchen. Nicely accommodates our four adults and two children party. Dave, the owner, and Coastal Joe are very helpful and easy to work with. Great value for Cape San Blas!

I miss the walkover ramp to the beach. It makes it difficult to carry beach and fishing equipment to the beach, at my age anyway. Will be back if I can afford it.

My wife and I have been renting A Beach Break for 5 years and LOVE our stay here. The unit well stocked and is always clean when we arrive. It is also a short walk to the most beautiful white sand beach. The entire complex is well maintained and the location is perfect for trips to Port St. Joe and Apalachicola. The staff at Coastal Joe is professional, courteous and prompt with any needs that come up. Had a few great swims in the complex’s beautiful outdoor pool this year! Also enjoyed walking and biking on the 9 mile bike trail just a short distance from the complex. Enjoyed some grouper from Cone Heads which is less than a mile away. We highly recommend A Beach Break.

A Beach Break was awesome. Close to pool and beach. Beds AND sofa sleeper very nice! Had all that we needed in the kitchen. We had bad weather due to Hurricane Sally. Dave called and texted us several times, checking on us, making sure we were safe and comfortable. Would return!

Great! Clean. Dave called to check on us. Property ready time.Down side and not ur fault. Lack of respect for leave no trace. Big party of 30 plus left 2 car ports on new beach entire time. Yes,I said carports. I love my happy place but this was ridiculous. Sad but not coastal jo or dave.

You know our family will be back regardless of dude people.

I had been to th Cape many times years ago. We had stayed at these Condos. I was alone for some R&R. The unit was perfect. Clean, well decorated and had everything you could ever need. The view of the beach and pool were awesome. I will go again. Greg J.

The “Forgotten Coast” is a wonderful place to visit and Sea Cliffs is a great place from which to do it. The home we have stayed in for four years now is comfortable, well maintained and fully equipped. The rental agency and the owner are very responsive and a delight to deal with. The beach is just perfect and a short walk from the complex. We look forward to many more visits!

The unit was nice, was as described and met our needs. It was a nice location, with an easy walk to the Gulf. It had a nice selection of dishes, cookware, etc. for all our needs. There was also a good selection of beach accessories. Overall, a comfortable stay.

The only issue with the unit was a fairly heavy leak during a rain. We called Coastal Joe and they said they would call their Maintenance person. We never heard or saw anyone, so we weren't sure if it was repaired. There wasn't anymore rain after that to tell. Better communication would have helped.

The disappointment was the overall condition of the Seacliffs community. The dunes walkover to the beach was great, but the rest of the common areas had not been taken care of since Hurricane Michael. There were lots of hazards everywhere; open/exposed electrical and plumbing boxes, crumbling sidewalk and street lights burned out and not replaced. Their solution was to post signs warning of the hazards rather than fix them. We were warned that the swimming pool was stained, but it was also dirty. The steps had a lot of dirt on them. Had there been a pool brush, I would have cleaned it myself.

In short, very nice unit but the community was way below expectations. My "Yes" recommendation is based on the unit and what was directly controllable by the owner. Based on the poor condition of the community, I actually would not stay again untill there was evidence repairs had been made.

We will definitely be back! A Beach Break was a wonderful town home end unit located in the gulf front Sea Cliffs community on the beautiful North end of Cape San Blas, very close to the State Park. It was just us two adults and one small well-traveled Cheagle. We had a blast! Unit overlooked a huge pool, nice gulf view, and an easy very short walk to uncrowded beach via wide boardwalk ("Thanks" to Mikey). You won't need to bring much - this town home had everything including beach toys, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, internet, huge selection of movies, comfy beds, couches, books, and an incredibly well-stocked kitchen - WOW! Thank you owner Dave, and thank you Coastal Joe for a wonderful place. LIFE IS GOOD at A Beach Break!!!

We had a wonderful 2 days of vacation but Hurricane Michael decided to make an appearance and we were luckily evacuated. This condo is so nice and has all the luxuries of home. I pray that the hurricane did not do any permanent damage.

We loved our stay at beach break!

Ample room for 4, easy access to pool and beach.

The accommodations were perfect, we loved our stay and cant wait to go back.

Owner and Coastal Joes provide a great rental experience. Have rented this unit many times and have always been pleased. Would like to return for sure.

This was our second time staying at the condo, and it was even better than I remembered. Great location, nicely updated, & both owner and rental management company were great to deal with. Will definitely return!

Nice clean place with nice amenities. My only negative is this is the 1st time we have rented and it didn't provide any dish detergent or dishwashing tablets. Small things count!
The 3rd floor labia was heavenly.....
Fun get away....Thanks.

Have stayed here 5 times. Perfect location overlooking pool and gulf. Two plus BD so good for small family or 2 couples. Attractive and all needs are met. You can't go wrong and attentive owner is a plus.

I recently visited A Beach Break for the 7th time with our family. We absolutely love Cape San Blas and this condo is the perfect size for our family and has everything we need (a well stocked kitchen, games, movies, beach toys, beach chairs, and more) for a relaxing, family vacation.

We had a fantastic time on the beach, kayaking in the bay & really enjoyed the new Scallops II seafood location on the Cape. The weather was beautiful & the Beach Break was spacious & clean.

Our experience booking and staying at A Beach Break was wonderful! The owner, Dave, was very helpful and pleasant, answering all our questions about the unit and giving us information about the area. The townhouse was extremely well stocked and everything worked perfectly. The furniture was comfortable and clean. The pool was well-maintained with lots of chaises and umbrellas so we had plenty of shade from the midday sun. The boardwalk to the beach was very convenient - just a 3 minute walk from the unit to the ocean. At Dave's recommendation we did our grocery shopping at the Piggly Wiggly in Port St. Joe but they don't carry any alcoholic beverages (not even beer) so we found a package store just 2 blocks down, but I'm pretty sure I saw another package store on the main road onto Cape San Blas. We went out for dinner only one night to Indian Pass Raw Bar and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was a very relaxing vacation.

We had a family reunion and rented more than one unit. The owner was very nice in that he sent me an email before our arrival listing things that would make my trip more enjoyable. Also called after we got in to check on everything. We will definitely be back.

Overall our vacation was great. The cape does not seem to be the forgotten coast anymore. Still not as crowded as other beaches but more crowded than what we are used too. The condo was a little warm but they did provide box fans. There was a rip in the screened patio which needs to be fixed to prevent the awful bug bites. Our kids loved the games, kitchen was stocked well, and beach supplies as well.

Experience was outstanding! Property was immaculate and very tastefully decorated. Owner went out of his way to be available to answer any questions or concerns. Coastal Joe's staff provided "above and beyond" assistance with an emergency health issue ...don't know what I would have done without them.

Manager's Response

Had a wonderful time at the cape. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was immaculate when we arrived and contained everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Since we had vacationed here before the most notable improvements were found in the kitchen. The owner greatly increased the tools to allow us to cook anything we could imagine. There were more than adequate cooking vessels and a huge supply of sharp knives. He even provided food storage containers for leftovers. Now, that's just over the top!
The beds were very comfortable. He had just installed new living room sleeper furniture which we did not avail ourselves of on this trip.
We had good views of the gulf from any room and we took maximum advantage of this feature.
We had good weather with which to enjoy the white sand and clear water. We did find that we were a little too old/large for the beach chairs that were supplied but it wasn't a problem as we had our own.
In summation: This place had it all!

Everything went smoothly. Weather great but fish were not biting. Hopefully, we will be back.

We had a very relaxing week at A Beach Break. The owner was very helpful with our planning prior to the trip and called early in the week to see if everything was as we were expecting. The unit was clean, well-maintained, and well stocked with kitchen equipment and beach equipment. The Piggly Wiggly in Port St. Joe is very nice. There are also several places to buy good shrimp, etc. that they prepare to go. We only ate dinner out one time. That was at The Grill in Apalachicola. It was very good, especially the gumbo. We would recommend Seacliff Condos and A Beach Break unit to our friends. Actually, we vacationed in one of the other units in 2006.

Four friends decided to vacation at Cape San Blas based on a recommendation from a friend. We chose A Beach Break and were totally satisfied with the location, our unit as well as the area. The property was beautiful and our unit beautifully decorated and well maintained. We enjoyed the beach as well as the pool. Traveled to Appalachicola to The Owl Cafe for dinner one evening and highly recommend it.

What a wonderful time we had! Definitely to be recommended! We will be back for sure!!

Loved our stay at " A Beach Break." The condo was only a short walk to the beach, the pool was only steps away, and best of all the condo comes stocked with all the beach gear you need. Saved us so much space in the car. I would definitely recommend a stay at "A Beach Break!"

Great week. Cleaning from guests before us could have been better, but all around acceptable. Excellent location. Love the Cape!

We had a great experience staying here.

Had a fantastic time! Great location with the grandkids. The place had everything we needed for the week. I loved the pool location and the short walk to the beach. Loved that we were able to build a fire on the beach for hotdogs and s'mores. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you!!!!

Had a wonderful week!

Thus has been our preferred unit for the last 8 or 9 years. We love the living area on top offering a nice view in the screened porch. It's beautiful inside after a refresh in 2015 and being on the corner, offers a bit more privacy. Can't go wrong with this one!

What a awesome place!! Best vacation ever!! Nice & relaxing .Owner was great,called and check to see if everything was ok.GREAT Condo !!GREAT location

Home was clean and well equipped. King bedroom needs a new mattress and pillows. Kitchen was well stocked. Good location close to the beach. Great place for extended family trips.... We had 7 families in this trip and were able to rent 4 units in SeaCliffs. If you need overflow accommodations, Barrier Dunes is a similar compound next door.

Had an excellent stay for the month of March.
Nicely furnished unit, well maintained grounds, beautiful beach. The Cape was very refreshing and not crowded at all. Older folks might find the flights of steps challenging on a daily basis. (no elevator)

This was our fourth winter stay at A Beach Break and everything was perfect, including beautiful days for almost at month. The unit is attractive, clean, well located and anything you could possibly need is provided. Local management office is responsive and owner is attentive as well.

We had a wonderful time and hope to return next year! The property was well maintained and the condo unit well equipped, bright and comfortable. We loved walking our little Papillon on the nearby beautiful beach and meeting other friendly dogs and their owners too! We enjoyed a nice lunch at The Sand Bucket and a fun casual dinner at Indian Trading Pass. We also enjoyed the bike trail and the nature trails at St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, which was right next door! As an added bonus, we enjoyed a violin concert in Apalachicola, less than an hour away.

This was an excellent vacation. The condo had everything you needed down to a pizza cutter. The complex is well maintained, the pool was clean, there is grass for the pups and plenty of beautiful beach for everyone. With this unit only a two story there is no elevator so be prepared to get your exercise up and down the stairs, it's good for your heart. Bottom line a wonderful place to vacation.

Overall the experience was good. We were a little disappointed that our unit was not ready when we arrived at 4. Also think that more towels should be provided.

CSB is always a wonderful escape. Unit was spotless, as always. Newly updated, redecorated, and beautiful. Grounds looked better than they had in several years (since before Isaah retired). This unit is our "vacation home" and has been for about 8 years. We've sent several folks to Dave for this unit and they, too, have loved it.

This is our 5th stay at Cape San Blas ans 1st at Sea Cliffs and A Beach Break. This condo has EVERYTHiNG you need for a wonderful beach vacation! Very well equipped kitchen and even beach items that we normally bring form home (beach chairs, umbrella, beach toys, etc) highly recommend this condo! There is a decent walk to the beach so a beach cart is very helpful. All amenities were clean and very well maintained. Also loved the screened porch! E noticed that not all units have this and it really is desirable when the biting bugs are in full force!

We really enjoyed our entire stay- Beach Break was wonderful. The furniture was so comfortable, balcony was refreshing, and the pool was delightful. The condo had everything anyone could possibly want. Beach was beautiful.

We had a wonderful time at our home 2 minutes away from my son's beach wedding venue! It couldn't have been more perfect, nor more comfortable. We walked the beach and relaxed. Never went to sleep before 4 a.m.--just sat up late in the inviting living room and chatted. Spent afternoons on the screened patio. The kitchen and bedrooms are all you could hope for, considering the price. And, Dave, thanks for being there for us through our late arrival, which could have been problematic, had you not responded as quickly as you did. You are a SUPERSTAR! We'll be back ASAP!!!

This is the third time in the last four years that we have stayed on this property. We love the location, beach and the ability to travel with our dogs. Great location to unwind and get away and not have to fight the crowds.

We had a great stay The condo was just renovated and it was lovely, down to the smallest details. One comment about Port St. Joe. There was ONE restaurant we found that would serve gluten-free meals.

We had a great experience at A Beach Break managed by Coastal Joe. The owner, Dave, went out of his way to make sure that we knew what to expect and had what we needed. The cell service is not great but there is WiFi. The beach is beautiful and undisturbed compared to the more built up areas like PCB or Daytona. Keep in mind that the main living area is on the top floor so there are 2 flights of stairs to go up and down. For us that was not a problem but we did get a good workout. Also, this location is a bit off the beaten path, about 20 minute drive from Port St Joe which is where you will have to go to get groceries and to have more restaurant options. There is one restaurant called Coneheads within walking distance but we didn't try it. The condo was clean and felt cozy, like home. We had what we needed to cook meals in the kitchen and had room to sleep 8 with 1 sleeping on the sofa. We will be back!

The place was very private and well was a welcome vacation...only things were the stairs were kinda hard sometimes but other than that amazing!!!!! And the owner Dave is the sweetest...very into making sure you feel at home
